Programma

The current ‘global economic governance’ model shows how international law is affected and reshaped by economic globalization. The process of erosion of state sovereignity is coupled with the overcoming of some classical features of the international legal order as an eminently inter-state regime. The course examines how globalization has transformed and is transforming international law, the concept of sovereignty and the role of states and how pervasive is the global economic governance model.
The first part of the course will describe the main westphalian features of the international legal order and the way they have been reshaped by the post Second World War evolution, with a particular focus on the emergence of the Washington consensus relating to the neo-liberal economic paradigm.
The second part will concern the Global Economic Governance model which is at the meantime consequence and mirror of globalization. Through the exam of some institutional pillars and of some concrete examples it will be given evidence to the great expanding force of this model, based on a conception that stands in opposition to conventional ideas of hierarchical governing. In this context, particular attention will be devoted to the role of private actors (among others: multinational enterprises, international standardization bodies, credit rating agencies, NGOs, individuals) and their relationship with more 'classical' international law subjects, namely states and international economic organizations such as WTO, IMF and the Bank.
The third and final part will try to assess the impact of the Global Economic Governance model on the general pattern of International Law, well beyond the merely economic sphere, and will investigate the various options of its prospective role for the affirmation of an international rule of law.
